My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Winnie, a spirited 2-to-3-year-old Dachshund mix who is ready to bring a mountain of personality into her forever home.
Winnie is truly a "mountain goat" in a small package. She is incredibly energetic, agile, and loves to explore the world on her daily walks. When she isn’t keeping the small wildlife out of the backyard or patrolling the neighborhood, she is a dreaming of her next adventure. At night, she burrows deep under the covers to find the warmest spot in your bed.
While Winnie is a sweet soul and gets along with other dogs, she is looking for a home where she can be the only dog. Due to her guarding behavior when she finds human food on the floor, she requires a home without young children. Winnie is perfectly fine sharing her space with feline friends.

Winnie’s Ideal Home:
Prefered to be the only dog: reactive to other dogs if human food is on the ground, (cats are okay!).
Adults and older children: A quiet home without young children due to her reactive behavior with human food on the floor.
Active Lifestyle: Someone who loves long walks and high-energy play.

Winnie is being fostered in Madison, AL. We are looking for local adopters only. If you would like to learn more about Winnie, please fill out an adoption application at forrescue.net

Additional adoption info

We have many wonderful dogs and cats eagerly waiting for their FORever homes!

Our adoption fee includes comprehensive, age-appropriate veterinary care: spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccinations, heartworm and flea prevention, and any medical care needed.

Our transport fee covers a comprehensive veterinary exam to obtain a USDA Health Certificate, which is required for interstate travel, as well as the cost of safe, licensed transport to your area.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our adoptable animals are fostered in loving homes throughout Huntsville, Alabama and the surrounding area. Because we do not operate a physical shelter, meet-and-greets are arranged by appointment only—typically after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.

For out-of-town adopters, we’re happy to offer virtual meet-and-greets to help you get to know your future furry family member before adoption or transport.

More about this rescue

Friends of Rescue is headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama with transport locations throughout the Great Lakes and New England. FOR is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2009.

Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from overcrowded Southern shelters where limited space, minimal funding, and high intake rates often lead to euthanasia.

We are not professional trainers or animal behaviorists—just dedicated individuals working together to give these animals a second chance. Every pet in our program lives in a loving foster home and receives age-appropriate veterinary care while awaiting adoption.

Our ultimate goal is to match each animal with a committed, compassionate individual or family who will provide a FORever home.
